No matter what your style, from broadband-beautifully on-the-go with the Digital Overload collection to urban beats with an edge in the case of the Glam Rock range, the award-winning Sally Hansen Miracle GelTM franchise has you covered. New and improved Miracle Gel is the next best thing to a salon gel manicure at home. The new collections feature the following new hues.

The Digital Overload collection is plugged in and always on! The range adds seven new wildly addictive and electrifying shades that are social media share-worthy:

Glam Rock is the intersection of pretty and punk blending the deep hues of yesteryear with the spirit of rock and roll. This collection also features seven new shades:

V-Amplified: mega-moody maroon

Scarlet Starlet: a Brit-rock favorite flavor —cherry red

Head Bang: a rad, rave-worthy chestnut brown

Stilettos & Studs: psychedelic charcoal shimmer

Motley Hue: manic magenta crème

Rock On Silver: heavy metal textured silver

Punkish Purple: groupie-gorgeous royal purple

When layered over the Miracle GelTM shades, the new 2X Volume Top Coat increases the volume of your manicure, creating dramatically fuller-looking nails with a high-gloss finish. The result: The look of a gel manicure at home, without the trip to a salon! Miracle Gel's two-step application is super-simple. First, apply two thin coats of Miracle GelTM color to clean, bare nails. Then, apply one coat of the new Miracle GelTM 2X Volume Top Coat. Natural light cures the polish, yielding a manicure that resembles a UV / LED cured gel polish. It removes easily with regular nail polish

THINK: It’s time to lose your lash curler.

WHAT IT IS: New 24 Hour Supercurler Mascara from Rimmel London is a revolutionary mascara and lash curler in one, giving you dramatic, even curland volume that lasts all day and all night. No more pulling or tearing at your lashes—with its built-in curling power, the mascara gives lashes a “perm” effect. The patent-pending formula features a revolutionary polymer, a spherical micro-sponge, and a soft gel. When combined, the breakthrough formula curls, volumizes, and pushes lashes up to a phenomenal 90 degrees. Lashes are visibly transformed as soon as you apply, and set to a flawless curl in seconds.
